Abstract
Abstract The method for texturing concrete comprises pouring uncured concrete into a form or upon a supporting surface troweling the concrete to a relatively smooth surface, and moving a texturing pad across the surface. The texturing pad comprises a backing material and a plurality of tufted clusters arranged in a matrix of rows. The clusters each comprise a base attached to the downwardly presented surface of the backing material and a plurality of blades extending downwardly therefrom to engage the concrete while moving there across. Each of the tufts is formed from a plastic material and is of unitary construction.

A method for texturing concrete for use as a supporting surface for vehicle travel, comprising: pouring uncured concrete on a supporting surface area, troweling said concrete to the approximate desired surface configuration, dragging a texturing pad over the surface of said concrete in the normal direction of travel of vehicles on the resulting supporting surface, said texturing pad comprising a planar flexible sheet of backing material and a plurality of downwardly presented tufted clusters arranged in a matrix of rows and extending downwardly from said backing material; said clusters each comprising a base attached to the downwardly presented surface of said backing material and a plurality of blades extending downwardly therefrom in a circular array around said base to engage said concrete while moving thereover, each of said clusters being formed from a plastic material, each of said blades being bent intermediate its ends and being flexible so as to deflect irregularly in a plurality of directions whereby said plurality of blades create nonuniform marks in said concrete while being dragged thereover.
